Tribute reminds writer of her angel friend, Phyllis Loy About: Remembering Kathy Grant: A true friend Poem by Diana Long To ColumbiaMagazine.com: One of God's greatest blessings are those rare individuals we can call a true friend. I was moved by this beautiful poem. It reminded me of my "angel" friend whom I lost last year, Phyllis Loy. I still miss her so much, but more importantly, I have grown to be even more thankful for her love and friendship. I'm so glad that I didn't miss out on that in my life.

Money is wasted in CWC's inefficient heating, cooling system About: Col Wm Casey School is in dire need of replacement To ColumbiaMagazine.com: The first thing that struck me about Patty Jones' article about CWC is what we are paying now for a very inefficient heating and cooling system, the daily maintenance activities, and the time managing all the systems and computers and other instructional tools because of the poor utilities. All these expenses are not going toward educating county children better. Just think if we had a new school designed to use power efficiently and weren't having to heat and cool parts of the building at the same time to be able to teach. Just think if we had a new school with adequate power in the classrooms to allow more PCs. Just think if we could use all that wasted cost to educate kids better.

The Election of 1909 was colorful event 100 years ago, there was an election which swept all incumbents from office. A powerful Adair County leader was denied even the backing of his home county because zealot temperance leaders labeled him soft of whisky power in Kentucky. Some took defeats in stride, but not Fred McLean, who fired off a scathing salvo taking himself out of future races, vowing he'd labor for 50 cents a day rather than beg the public for an office again. Republican losers in the primary ran in the fall as Independent Republicans weakening the Republican slate "Mountains tower proudestBy "Jim" This (non) election day in Adair County is considerably quieter than was election day, 1909. With a Republican primary in the spring and 14 countywide races that fall, you couldn't cut down a three- inch sapling without at least two candidates showing up to make stump speeches. The Republicans fielded candidates in all 14 contests, while the Democrats vied for four positions, as did the Independent Republicans Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2009-11-03 08:06:15 | Comments | Printable version
